I think a lot of what I was taught, gathered, and learned is worth keeping. Heritage and "wisdom" and simply personal family and local history enrich… - Gary Gygax

The books I write because I want to read them, the games because I want to play them, and stories I tell because I find them exciting personally.

The idea that a game is anything more than a game… You know, there are people who are basically unbalanced who are going to misuse a game and have bad results. If a golfer who insists on playing during a lightning storm gets hit by a stroke of lightning and is killed nobody says, 'There's golfers dying by the droves being hit by lightning!' You can overdo what you really like, and if you're unbalanced you go overboard.

One more thing: don’t spend too much time merely reading. The best part of this work is the play, so play and enjoy!
